Economic growth is an increase in a nation's capacity to produce goods and services over time. It is usually calculated using a country's gross domestic product (GDP) as compared to the country's population.[1][2]
Ideally, GDP annual growth should be 4% or more, as it was in the early 1950s and late 1980s, when the Nation benefited from Reaganomics. However, during the Obama Administration GDP grew at an anemic 2% annually, roughly.
